SeaWorld hiring for Halloween “scare squad”

plans to fill hundreds of temporary jobs for its annual Howl-O-Scream makeover to the West Side theme park.

The park will host auditions next week for 250 seasonal positions, including singers, dancers, actors, stilt walkers, characters, “scare squad” members and more, according to a news release. Auditions are open for anyone 16 years and up, though some positions require a minimum age of 18, the release reads.

Auditions begin at 1 p.m. on July 28 at SeaWorld San Antonio Human Resources, 10500 SeaWorld Drive, and 4:30 p.m. on July 31 at the Palmetto Center for the Arts on the Northwest Vista College campus, 3535 N. Ellison Dr.

SeaWorld said workers will receive competitive wages, complimentary and discounted park admissions for themselves and their families and other incentives.
